Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss king, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one. I managed to get into my snow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots." I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the first one into place and then worked the second one on, too. I said, "They are on the wrong feet." She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, "These aren't my boots, they are my brother's boots and I hate them!" Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. Seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, "Now, where are your gloves?" I looked into her eyes and said, "I did not want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots."21、 According to the passage, the little girl got _ from her brother.

And once we know what it is we can try to do it ourselves. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Real listening also means not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.24、 Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _. Afor you to make more and more new friends Bto begin your business talks Cto get the conversation going smoothly Dfor you to make a deep and lasting impression on others25、 Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _. Aare good at making any topic interesting Bnever talk too much or too little Calways speak in a gentle way Dknow how and when he should change the topic of the talk26、 If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _. Ayou may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend Bit seems necessary for you to let him know it Cit's proper for you to give him a second handshake Dit'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of himText 3Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn't agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, "Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn't the key to lifethis is!" At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. That's when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are "yes", I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That's when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there's no chance of ever being truly happy. That's why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:" People first. Then money. Then things. " How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades(十年), the percentage of Americans who say they're happy hasn't changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we're not much happier on average. A paradox(悖论)? Far from it. My sense is that while we're making more money, we aren't making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement(退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it's really hard to increase your happiness when you've got a lot of money worries. Do you agree, or am I way off base? I'd love to know what do you think about the money/happiness connection.27、 Why do people often show the author their family photos? AThey hope to show money is very important. BThey want to prove they can afford a holiday. CThey think a good family makes them truly happy. DThey believe a happy person considers people first.28、 Why did the authur ask the group questions in Paragraph 3? ATo persuade them to save for the future. BTo ask for advice on holidays abroad. CTo know more about each person. DTo show them what he meant.29、 Which of the following arguments does the author want to make? AMoney is all that matters in our life. BThe richer we are, the happier we'll be. CMoney makes a difference to the quality of our lives. DTrue happiness is achievable from good relationships.30、 What does the underlined words "off base" in the last paragraph most probably mean?

The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 31 In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in historya society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living. Britain was only the beginning. 32 The process of urbanizationthe migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the citywas the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live. In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 33 Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 34 Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city. Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 35 Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers. AThat kept cities very small. BThe rest live in small towns. CThe effects of urban living on people should be considered. DSoon many other industrial nations became urban societies. EBut even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. FModernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. GModern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant.
